Go on, I dare you.<br /><br />Toni; I don't remember ever seeing these photos before, I have my grade 3 class photo, but this grade 6 one is new to me. And I've searched in vain for the faces of my few friends, but just don't recognise them, even after comparing the faces with the grade 3 photo. <br /><br />EC; I always recognise myself. I'm either insanely grinning which is what I do when I'm nervous, or my head is tilted to my right. <br /><br />Tempo; I remember there weren't too many homes that didn't have a tower by the time I left Port Pirie in 1968.
